Early rims, however are not suitable for tubeless tires. I believe the safety hump that made this possible was introduced mid-year in 66. You can always put tubes in tubeless tires, however.

The squares came with 6PR tires. > Any guesses on value? $20-40. -- ******************************* Jim Adney, jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, Wisconsin, USA ******************************* ------------------------------------------------ To unsubscribe, E-mail to: <type3-off@vwtype3.org> For more help, see http://vwtype3.org/list/
